Abstract

The paper is concerned with the following chemotaxis system with nonlinear motility functions \begin{equation}\label{0-1}\tag{\ast} \begin{cases} u_t=\nabla \cdot (\gamma(v)\nabla u- u\chi(v)\nabla v)+\mu u(1-u), &x\in \Omega, ~~t>0, 0=\Delta v+ u-v,& x\in \Omega, ~~t>0,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x), & x\in \Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation} with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain ΩR2\Omega\subset \R^2 with smooth boundary, where the motility functions γ(v)\gamma(v) and χ(v)\chi(v) satisfy the following conditions \begin{itemize} \item {\color{black}(γ,χ)[C2[0,)]2(\gamma,\chi)\in [C^2[0,\infty)]^2} with γ(v)>0\gamma(v)>0 and {\color{black} χ(v)2γ(v)\frac{|\chi(v)|^2}{\gamma(v)} is bounded for all v0v\geq 0.} %for all v0v\geq 0 and limvχ(v)2γ(v)\lim\limits_{v\to\infty}\frac{|\chi(v)|^2}{\gamma(v)} exists. \end{itemize} By employing the method of energy estimates , we establish the existence of globally bounded solutions of \eqref{0-1} with μ>0\mu>0 for any u0W1,(Ω)u_0 \in W^{1, \infty}(\Omega). Then based on a Lyapunov function, we show that all solutions (u,v)(u,v) of \eqref{0-1} will exponentially converge to the unique constant steady state (1,1)(1,1) provided μ>K016\mu>\frac{K_0}{16} with K0=max0vχ(v)2γ(v)K_0=\max\limits_{0\leq v \leq \infty}\frac{|\chi(v)|^2}{\gamma(v)}.
